My cousin is 34 with 7 kids and 1 on the way. She lives off the government, has 5 baby daddies and none of the kids are properly taken care of.

Please help!! Anyone else really struggling to get kendamill? We are down to our last tin and are really struggling to find it anywhere :(

I have a friend who came from another county pregnant. The baby father is not here in the US. How should she go about the baby's birth certificate? Will they give her trouble? He is in Africa.
